In the sample data source, we have changed the YEAR(OrderDate) to QUARTER(OrderDate). You will notice that Visualization has moved the QUARTER(OrderDate) Dimension to the Color Deck but retained the SUM(Profit) Measure in the Rows Deck. You will also notice that Size Deck is disabled. You can use this deck when you plot a symbol map via Geo Deck.
